Control device and movement control system

Abstract

A control device includes: a retry determination unit configured to determine whether to execute retry control based on a current position of a moving object and a target position when the moving object is moved to the target position by automatic steering; and a notification control unit configured to transmit a retry notification, including information indicating that the retry control is to be executed based on a determination result of the retry determination unit, to a terminal device. The notification control unit transmits the retry notification to the terminal device when the retry control, executed after at least a part of the moving object reaches the target position, is determined, and the notification control unit does not transmit the retry notification to the terminal device when the retry control, executed before at least a part of the moving object reaches the target position, is determined.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A control device that is configured to communicate with a terminal device outside a moving object, and that causes the moving object to move to a target position by automatic steering in response to a predetermined movement operation being performed on the terminal device, the control device comprising:
 a retry determination unit configured to determine whether to execute retry control, which is for moving the moving object to the target position again after a traveling direction of the moving object is temporarily reversed, based on a current position of the moving object and the target position when the moving object is moved to the target position by automatic steering; and 
 a notification control unit configured to transmit a retry notification, including information indicating that the retry control is to be executed based on a determination result of the retry determination unit, to the terminal device, wherein: 
 the notification control unit transmits the retry notification to the terminal device when the retry control, executed after at least a part of the moving object reaches the target position, is determined; and 
 the notification control unit does not transmit the retry notification to the terminal device when the retry control, executed before at least a part of the moving object reaches the target position, is determined. 
 
     
     
       2. The control device according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the notification control unit transmits the retry notification to the terminal device when it is determined that the retry control is executed after a portion of an entire length of the moving object that is equal to or larger than a predetermined amount reaches the target position; and 
 the notification control unit does not transmit the retry notification to the terminal device when it is determined that the retry control is executed before the portion equal to or larger than the predetermined amount reaches the target position. 
 
     
     
       3. The control device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 when movement of the moving object to the target position by automatic steering is started and then the movement is not completed within a predetermined period, the control device interrupts the movement. 
 
     
     
       4. The control device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the control device transmits the retry notification for causing a display unit of the terminal device to display a retry confirmation screen including information indicating that the retry control is executed, information indicating a positional relationship between the moving object and the target position, and information indicating a traveling direction of the moving object reversed by the retry control. 
 
     
     
       5. The control device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 when receiving, from the terminal device, retry permission including information indicating that execution of the retry control is permitted, the control device executes the retry control as a response to the retry notification. 
 
     
     
       6. The control device according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the control device executes the retry control in response to the movement operation being performed after the retry permission is received. 
 
     
     
       7. A movement control system comprising:
 a control device that is configured to communicate with a terminal device outside a moving object, and that causes the moving object to move to a target position by automatic steering in response to a predetermined movement operation being performed on the terminal device, the control device including:
 a retry determination unit configured to determine whether to execute retry control, which is for moving the moving object to the target position again after a traveling direction of the moving object is temporarily reversed, based on a current position of the moving object and the target position when the moving object is moved to the target position by automatic steering; and 
 a notification control unit configured to transmit a retry notification, including information indicating that the retry control is to be executed based on a determination result of the retry determination unit, to the terminal device; 
 
 the moving object controlled by the control device, the moving object being configured to move to the target position by automatic steering in response to the movement operation being performed on the terminal device; and 
 the terminal device including a display unit, the terminal device being configured to communicate with the control device, wherein: 
 the notification control unit transmits the retry notification to the terminal device when the retry control, executed after at least a part of the moving object reaches the target position, is determined; 
 the notification control unit does not transmit the retry notification to the terminal device when the retry control, executed before at least a part of the moving object reaches the target position, is determined; 
 when receiving, from the terminal device, retry permission including information indicating that execution of the retry control is permitted, the control device executes the retry control as a response to the retry notification; 
 the control device executes the retry control in response to the movement operation being performed after the retry permission is received; 
 the control device transmits, to the terminal device, the retry notification for causing the display unit to display a retry confirmation screen including information indicating that the retry control is executed; and 
 when receiving the retry notification, the terminal device displays the retry confirmation screen on the display unit, and when receiving a predetermined permission operation after the retry confirmation screen is displayed, the terminal device transmits the retry permission to the control device, and displays a movement operation reception screen for receiving the movement operation on the display unit. 
 
     
     
       8. The movement control system according to  claim 7 , wherein
 when receiving the retry notification while displaying the movement operation reception screen, the terminal device ends display of the movement operation reception screen and displays the retry confirmation screen. 
 
     
     
       9. The movement control system according to  claim 7 , wherein
 the permission operation is an operation different from the movement operation. 
 
     
     
       10. The movement control system according to  claim 7 , wherein
 when receiving a predetermined end operation after the retry confirmation screen is displayed, the terminal device does not transmit the retry permission to the control device, and displays an end screen different from the movement operation reception screen on the display unit.
